    Pub stone throw away, lovely food.The only thing I would say is that it needs a light outside when dark because the steps are quite steep otherwise perfect.

  • "Well cared for property that was warm and comfortable and clean."

    Its the cleanest oven in a holiday let that I have ever used! The owners are lovely and went the extra mile for us. Big thank you to them. My only comment is the access to the garden, I know the description states via a shared path but there are steps up and then a narrow path which didn't really make it easy for an aging dog and my dodgy knees. We didn't use the parking space either as it was so much easier to park on the road. There is a lovely walk across the fields nearby which was useful.

  • "Great little dog friendly cottage."

    Location a few metres from pub was superb ! Bathroom was probably best we've had in cottage. There was offstreet parking but was very tricky to negotiate so stayed on street - plenty of nearby room so not a problem. As cottage is in area associated with "changeable" conditions a wet jacket hanger would be a useful addition if feasible. Overall a great place to stay for a couple and a pooch

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Bongate - the cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay."

    It is well located, with Derwentwater, Ullswater and Buttermere all within around an hour's drive, and you can get everything you need in Appleby. We visited The Royal Oak three times as the food is superb and they were very dog friendly. The one thing we'd note wasn't 100% clear on the listing is that the enclosed back garden is not directly attached to the back of the house and you need to walk up a shared path. Not a massive issue but could be a bit inconvenient for some dog owners.

    Appleby-in-Westmorland is a very nice town. We both appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival. The Royal Oak pub was very handy. We had an excellent lunch at the 'Crown & Cushion'. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking. The road from Brough up over the top to Teeside and of course several trips into Keswick/lakes were just wonderful.

    Very clean. The bedroom lovely and comfy. The bathroom brilliant. Kitchen brilliant. The living room is a little dark. But the outside sitting area at the back of the cottage isn’t very inviting. I suppose there isn’t much that could be done about this.

  • "We loved the cottage and found it to be well equipped and comfortable."

    The bathroom was absolutely amazing! Our issue was more around the garden and which bit(s) we could actually use. As our dog is an assistance dog, she needs to be allowed out to spend regularly and the remote garden was too 'remote' being where it is. To us, this didn't seem very dog friendly. Also, my husband has in the last few weeks suffered mobility issues and so to park at the back of the property / access the garden area was not possible for us. We did love the cottage but would probably not return.

    Comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom and cosy living room with the log fire which really throws out some heat. Just be aware that the back garden area isn’t immediately accessible, you need to go up steep steps and a bit of a hill to reach it. Didn’t spoil our holiday at all as we only have a small dog, but thought it was worth mentioning. Would definitely return.

    Royal Oak pub 30yrds away, lovely stroll into town, lovely walks on the door step. Bed was super comfy and the bathroom modern and luxurious. A couple of points which I’m sure would help future guests. Somewhere to hang wet coats and jackets after a walk would be really useful ( there were a few short hooks under the but this was full of household items) and a light in the porch would be most helpful for returning after dark.

    2. Very dark porch, difficult to see how to get in. Batteries in lights dead. 3. Disappointed no washing machine, but had dishwasher. Would prefer other way around but that's what was advertised. 4. Narrow staircase, not suitable for people with disabilities. 5. Extra steps in to bedroom and bathroom. Not good for disabilities either. Property should be advertised as no use for anyone with a disability.

  • "A superb terraced house in a beautiful little town."

    Exactly as per the listing and the photos. Kitchen beautifully equipped and a stunning bathroom. Lounge a little dark, but not an issue as out walking for most of the days. Great to sit out by the front door and enjoy a glass of wine in the afternoon sun. Beware the back garden is not directly outside the back door, but up several steep steps and a steep path at the top of a small hill (set behind the garden belonging to the neighbour) so didn’t find that particularly convenient - hence sitting out the front. Not a problem for me - but anyone with mobility issues would struggle (similarly be aware the steps to the upstairs in the property are fairly narrow and steepish - again, not a problem for me, but I would hate for anyone to find this lovely property is not for them if discovering these things on arrival). Very friendly town. Neighbours were lovely and chatty every time I saw them. Great pub with amazing food almost next door. Just 15 mins walk in other direction into the town for shops. Easy to park out front on the main road, which isn’t overly busy. Will definitely be back, if I get the opportunity.

  • "We enjoyed our stay here."

    Close enough to walk into Appleby. Very comfy bed and cooking facilities fine. Steps up to front door were not too severe for my wife who uses a walking stick. Only snag was the access to car parking at the rear is up some steps that she couldn’t manage. So, we left the car at the front and no problems. In fact, everything is so handy we left the car parked up. There’s a laundrette in the town (cottage has no washing machine) but plenty of pubs nearby whilst you wait. The cottage is always warm and log fire is very cosy whilst you drink your wine kindly left by the owners. Brilliant shower and soaking in the bath was great after a long walk in the rain. The Royal Oak pub 30m away is very cosy. We didn’t eat there but food looked fine. Access to the numerous walking paths is very easy from here and you’re quickly into the countryside along the river. Plenty of castles around to explore and Penrith handy if weather is too bad to walk. The town has a swimming pool too. We would return here without hesitation.

The bed is massive and extremely comfy, I want the same mattress for home now! The bathroom is beautiful and we both loved having a long soak in the bath every night after a day out. The cottage is warm and cosy, couldn’t get the burner to light as it was a lot smaller than my own, but the heating is so efficient it wasn’t needed. Kitchen is modern and fully equipped. The only suggestions to add to the magic would be some hooks in the bathroom, maybe on the back of the door and a full length mirror in the bedroom.

    The property was warm, super clean and with a fantastic bathroom! The bed is also really comfy. It is a great location with a dog friendly pub two doors down and a ten minute walk into the town centre with another dog friendly pub called the crown and cushion. Both of these allow dogs in to eat with you so our boy was with us every time too. There are lovely walks through Appleby and so much to explore, also great links to the lakes via the A66. The property provide a car parking disc for the town centre and a handy folder with all instruction manuals. Also in one drawer you will find all the leaflets of what is nearby to help plan your stay. The only thing we found slightly difficult was that it is a small shared garden with steep steps and next door have a cat and the other side had a young pup, so we kept our bouncy ten month old on a lead as he likes to explore! He is a golden retriever and struggled with the steps, no fault to the cottage though. We had a fantastic stay and are already looking to book again. Highly recommend.

The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
